Guest guest Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Thank you Sarojaji for your kind offer and we all are blessed and grateful to have you as our teacher. Let us start with being serious about learning and create a concrete class plan to learn basic Sanskit in one year's (?) time. I would suggest Sarojaji to take the lead and let us know how to go about it from here. I also like to request help from those of you who are good in Sanskit or know the basics to support this effort by volunteering your time to answer starter's questions and help them improve their basics. That way we can reduce a little of Sarojaji's burden. Thanks to Sunitaji for letting me know about Samskrita Bharathi. Let us find out from them if we can avail their course material to use for the same. Please take the lead in finding more information and let us know the details of the course and the payment issues. Krishna Prasad can take the lead in using the latest technologies to help Sarojaji podcast or youtube the course material, other resources from the web and distribute to our group members without breaking any copyright laws. Mean time, I have created a group as per your wish. Whoever is seriously interested can join the group at Guru-Kulam Om Namo Narayanaya: Sunil. guruvayur , Saroja Ramanujam <sarojram18 wrote: > > Well!

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Dear Sunil and others, I will send a specimen lesson which can be posted in the group to enable the members to decide to join and the regular lessons will start from January. If the samskritha samthi agree to post their course lessons to the group and conduct the exams on line it would be fine. And I can act as the guide.Any way if it is the aim to learn only the language we can start in our own pace but it is not possible to stipulate the time limit as one year. It will take at least three years for one to acquire the proficiency of understanding the meaning of sanskrit passage and there is no limit for learning which can go on as long as you wish. I am still learning and I can't say that I have mastered the language though I may be at a higher level than those who don " t know the language.Sri KVG will agree with me on this point.I am not discouraging the students because it is entirely left to the discretion of the learner as to how far he should proceed and stop wherever he wishes but to those who want to pursue I will help till the end which is of course as far as my knowledge goes. saroja Ramanujam Sunil Menon <menon_sunil wrote: Thank you Sarojaji for your kind offer and we all are blessed and grateful to have you as our teacher.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Jai Sreekrishna My thanks are to both of you for taking a prompt decision. I know this is an additional burden for Smt. Sarojaji and wish her all the best in her endeavour so that members like me can learn atleast Hari Sri of this great language. I am basically interested in learning only the basic language and I am sure Smt. Sarojaji can definitely help us in simple way and am eagerly awaiting for the specimen lesson. With Kannan's Blessings and my sincere efforts, I shall try to learn as much as I can from Smt. Sarojaji.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Dear all, Radhe Krishna! Considering myself as one of the most fortunate ones to have enrolled to study the language under the stewardship of our Mataji, I am, indeed, immensely happy that we are making a start. May the Lord shower His blessings and make this project a very successful one. As Mataji has pointed out, let it take any number of years, as there is no end to the learning process. Taking my own case, I have felt tje necessity of learning the divine language, more and more of it, although I had never been in touch with the language after my college days of the 1950s, but for the latest involvement with the Narayaneeyam project, which refreshed my knowledge little bit. But I do not feel completely at ease, as the urge to learn is only going up. This must be the case with most of us, especially those from Tamil Nadu from where the language has been banished. Wishing the best to all with prayers to the Lord, Yours in humble prostration Saroja Ramanujam wrote: Dear Sunil and others, I will send a specimen lesson which can be posted in the group to enable the members to decide to join and the regular lessons will start from January.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Hari OM! Thanks Sarojam ji.. Actually any language as per my limited information. should start from speaking is it not? We can have a number 1-800 with a pin. . like everyone who is interested can log in either Sunday or Saturday mornings... even from India people can login. LIke Ahobila Matam people does...for their satsang. and have one hour of spoken sanskrit which we will pick up more easily along with the notes you are sending too this is only a suggestion. Please give your view. With Love & OM! Hare Guruvayurappa.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Thank you KVG for your enrolling for the clas. You will b4 an active participant, I hope. As per the suggestion of learning to speak sanskrit those who are willing can also log in to the website he has suggested but sanskrit is more valuable as ythe medium of spititual and devotional knowledge than as a spoken language not because it cannot be spoken, as it has been proved to be otherwise in some states now, but because the beauty of the language and the understnding of it can be imparted only through the studuy of it as related to literature and not by spoken form. To speak any language actually you need only at the most 200 to 300 words but to understand the works in that language you have to master it in detail. You have so many spoken languages in India that one more or one less will not make any difference.So it all de4pends the purpose for which you want to learn the language.Yo can learn to speak Tamil or Malyalam or even French or German. But if you want to read and understand Kamban,Poondhanam, Dumas, and Goathe in their original you have to master the language. saroja Ramanujam"K.V Gopalakrishna" <gopalakrishna.kv wrote: Dear all,Radhe Krishna!Considering myself as one of the most fortunate ones to have enrolled to study the language under the stewardship of our Mataji, I am, indeed, immensely happy that we are making a start. May the Lord shower His blessings and make this project a very successful one. As Mataji has pointed out, let it take any number of years, as there is no end to the learning process. Taking my own case, I have felt tje necessity of learning the divine language, more and more of it, although I had never been in touch with the language after my college days of the 1950s, but for the latest involvement with the Narayaneeyam project, which refreshed my knowledge little bit. But I do not feel completely at ease, as the urge to learn is only going up. This must be the case with most of us, especially those from Tamil Nadu from where the language has been banished.Wishing the best to all with prayers to the Lord,Yours in humble prostrationSaroja Ramanujam wrote: Dear Sunil and others,I will send a specimen lesson which can be posted in the group to enable the members to decide to join and the regular lessons will start from January.
